Small Business Answering Service

The success of your small business depends upon consistent business from customers. You can not afford to miss calls from current or potential customers needing you, whether there is a legitimate reason for the person responsible for answering your phones to be busy with another call or out of the office, whether it’s a weekend or a holiday, or simply your vacation.

Many callers object to voicemail. 70% hang up when voicemail answers.

Callers want immediate service. They want to talk with a live person.

When current customers or potential customers call a small business for service, they want to feel like their needs are heard accurately and that they are important to the person recording the detail of their requests. Small businesses need to have a live person answering their phones who is friendly, attentive, and respectful of the customer’s urgency to be serviced.

Complete, Accurate Records Can Be Mined for Future Business. It’s definitely to true that every missed call is a missed opportunity. It’s also true, and often not understood by many, that inaccurate information cost small businesses money in both the short-term and the long-term.
